Black Gamecock Water Iris is known as a marginal plant meaning it likes wet, boggy soil, and pond edges. It produces 4-6″ deep velvety-purple flowers. Typically flowering from late spring into the summer, these purple-black flowers contrast well with its green foliage. Preferring boggy soil, Black Gamecock Water Iris can also be planted in an aquatic container submerged in 2-4″ of shallow water.
Plants for your fish pond provide a natural environment and shade for your fish. Plants also provide fish with hiding spots from predators. Soaking up fish waste and extra minerals, plants keep green algae from growing, helping to keep your water clear. Floating leaves give shade to the water, keeping it cooler and stopping algae growth. Fish also often use underwater plants to lay their eggs, as plants offer protection as well. Last of all plants in your pond create natural beauty for you to enjoy!
